Electricians, photographers, and lighting professionals - this Ideal Industries digital light meter is an essential tool for precise light measurement! This versatile meter measures all visible light sources including modern LED lighting, which many older meters struggle with accurately. With four measurement ranges going all the way up to 20,000 FC (foot-candles) or 200,000 Lux, this meter handles everything from dim interior lighting to bright outdoor conditions. The large 3-1/2 digit LCD display (2000 count) makes readings easy to see in any lighting situation, and the basic accuracy of +/- 3% ensures reliable measurements you can trust. Features like max reading mode let you capture peak light levels, while data hold mode freezes the display so you can record measurements easily. The auto zero adjustment means you don't have to manually calibrate, and low battery indication plus auto power off function help preserve battery life. Over range indication lets you know when you need to switch to a higher measurement range. Ideal Industries has been making quality tools since 1916, following their core philosophy that every product should be worth more than the price paid - and this light meter definitely delivers on that promise. Whether you're measuring workplace lighting for safety compliance, setting up photography lighting, testing LED installations, or conducting environmental light studies, this professional-grade light meter provides the accuracy and features you need in a rugged, reliable package.
